Discover the beauty of cyanotype printing with our exciting Cyanotype Printing Workshop, led by artist Charlotte Shearman Smith. Perfect for beginners and creative enthusiasts alike, this hands-on workshop will guide you through the fascinating process of making your own unique blue-toned prints using seasonal flowers, leaves, and craft embellishments.

What is Cyanotype Printing?

Cyanotype is a traditional photographic printing technique that produces stunning blue-toned images. Using natural materials and UV light, you’ll learn how to layer textures and create striking designs full of depth and detail. This eco-friendly printing method is ideal for crafters, artists, and anyone looking to explore a new creative skill.

Charlotte will take you step by step through the process, showing you how to:

• Prepare and apply cyanotype solution to paper or fabric

• Arrange flowers, leaves, and craft trims to create different effects

• Expose your print using natural sunlight or a UV lamp

• Rinse and reveal your beautiful finished cyanotype print

At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home a unique, hand-printed piece – perfect for framing, gifting, or using in your craft projects.
